Evolve introduces new hunter Electro Griffin

The news thatEvolve is going free to play isn’t the only big announcement coming this summer. Along with that move, Turtle Rock Studios is introducing a new hunter to the mix. Electro Griffin has a Hollywood vibe to him as the new character enters the fray.

He is armed with the Laser Storm, an SMG that slows down its targets with electricity. His Final Lockdown is a harpoon type weapon, which will hinder the movement of monsters while Griffin’s Electro Suit gives a boost to his mobility. Players can check out a video of the hunter in action here. The new character is part of the Evolve Stage 2 effort, in which Turtle Rock is revamping its asymmetrical shooter. The developer is aiming to make the game more fast-paced with shorter matches and easier mechanics for hunters.

Players can check out Griffin and Evolve Stage 2 for free on on Steam right now.
